Electric Ice Cream Maker Not Working?

Why doesn't my electric ice cream maker turn at all? I hear the motor running. What am I doing wrong? Does it take a minute to warm up?

Please help me.

It sounds like your maker may need a little oiling . With the cold ice and staying wet, sometimes the parts get a little stiff over time. Therefore a little oiling would help bring this back to a new normal!

It is not always easy offering suggestions when there is no brand/model named but maybe??

If it is the older 'bucket' type it's possible that it has rust and this is causing some of the problem.

If this type; check under neath to see if there is rust and maybe needs oil. If rusty you may have to oil and then try to knock off some of the rust and then oil again. Not sure that type of oil matters - maybe WD40 would work.
Clean it up and retry.

If your maker is a newer one maybe some suggestions on this site can help you.
